Moore

The Chicago Bears will be without nickel cornerback D.J. Moore on Sunday at Oakland but wide receiver/returner Devin Hester is probable despite missing a second straight day of practice Friday at Halas Hall. Hester was held out Thursday with a shin injury and was sidelined again Friday. He didn't practice two weeks ago and did play against the Detroit Lions, returning a punt 82 yards for a touchdown before leaving the game with an illness. So, Hester should be ready to go even though...

As difficult as Lake Park's loss in the 2012 state quarterfinals was to swallow, Sean Moore said falling one match short of qualifying last spring was worse. Moore now has a state tournament memory to cherish. The 6-foot-5 senior delivered the final two points of Lake Park's 25-16, 26-24 victory over New Trier in a boys volleyball state quarterfinal Friday afternoon in Hoffman Estates. The score was tied at 24 before Moore followed a kill with a...

BOURBONNAIS — Lovie Smith always seems giddy when discussing D.J. Moore, and Moore's five interceptions in training camp have made Smith that much more animated. "He's a playmaker," the Bears coach said of the third-year nickel back. "He has great instincts for the position. He's a student of the game. " There is, however, one aspect Smith continues to nitpick. He wants to see Moore improve against the run. The often cynical Moore respectfully brushed off his coach's constructive...

D.J. Moore wants to play safety. Don't laugh. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Bears defensive back, who officially becomes an unrestricted free agent March 12, spent the start of the offseason contemplating how he could make a bigger impact. A position switch was his final conclusion. "Playing safety, you affect the whole field," he said. "You have to do more than at corner. And as far as playing the deep pass, I can read the quarterback better than anybody. " Obviously Moore's confidence never...

With a knack for history and U.S. policy, York decided in 2010 to pursue an advanced degree. In February, York received his master's...

Brian Urlacher, arguably a future Hall of Famer? Lance Briggs, maybe the best outside linebacker in a...
